The IxProtectorate of Outer Daviston is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ike Davis with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.152 billion Outer Davistonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ikestown. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.4%.

The powerhouse Outer Davistonian economy, worth 227 trillion Buckoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 105,713 Buckoes, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's space program is doxxing the planet, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Outer Daviston's national animal is the Buckaroo and its national religion is Valley Feverism.

Outer Daviston is ranked 67,555^th in the world and 1^st in Baseball for Most Corrupt Governments, with 30.87 kickbacks per hour.
